There's still time to get over here and enter the fishing tournament tomorrow!  We still have 7 teams fishing.

Floated the Yellowstone once in a blizzard.  Well, we hadn't planned on it being a blizzard.  It started out to be a pretty good fishing day.  Then the wind picked up, and the Yellowstone in that area flows NNE, which is exactly which direction the wind was blowing from.  Started snowing.  Wind by that time was blowing about 30 mph, steadily.  River was low.  The only way you could make headway against the wind was to put your back to it and row hard.  There were three of us, but one had no idea how to row.  So the two of us would take turns, 15 minutes of rowing then switch.  When we'd switch, the rower would have snow caked on his back at least an inch thick.  Had to be one of the miserable days of "fishing" I've ever had.

They gave it a name today, the storm is called "Fern".  No fiddleheads popping yet....

Wintertime on the river is the best.  Many single digit nights and lower spent on the 11 point and Current . . . .floating through some blizzards and some right after a big weather event.  Here are a few memories.  I wish I was down there now.

Looks like heaven on earth!  I’d love to do that someday!

There's no such thing, as a bad day fishing!

If you got chainsaws, good bourbon, and the right gear . . . . it ain't so bad.  I've had better nights sleep at home though, I can't lie. Easy to look at these pictures and think it was great, but I remember some suffering.
